SAFETY-HOLDER FOR NECK'I'IES.

Specification of Letters Patent.-

Patented Oct. 18, 1921.

Application filed February 24, 1920. Serial No. 360,641.

To all whom it may concern:

Figs. 5 to 12 show various modifications Be it known that I, Josnr Pacer, a citizen wof the safety-holder, each in front elevation;

of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Zurich, in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, have invented a Safety-Holder for Neckties, of which the following is a speci fication.

Holders for neckties, in combination with pins, are already in use. These holdershave all for their object to safeguard the position of the necktie in relation to the collar stud or to attach it to the same, whereby one or more pins are made to penetrate the tie.

This invention is intended for another purpose, namely to preserve the form of the neckties, particularly those of the kind which are self-adjusted, that is'to say those shaped and tied by hand. The necktie holders hitherto used, even those employing pins, are not adapted to serve the same end, inasmuch as the position and arrangement of the pins in relation to the holder are not suitable. In order to fulfil this condition at least one pin, that is one rigidly secured to the holder needs to be so disposed that when pressed from behind into the finished knot of the tie, it penetrates the binding part or slip and theloop of the self-adjustable tie. The position of these parts which are slidable within each other is thereby rendered secure. Apart from the single pin described, other pins may be employed for the same or other purposes. It is also clear that this safety-holder cannot be compared with clasps or other fastenings which are essentially designed for the attachment to orsuspension from the collar stud of neckties of the finished type, that is of the kind in which the parts are sewn together.

In order that the invention may be clearly understood reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a side view of a safetyholder according to a first construction;

Fig. 2 shows a rear view thereof and as applied to a tie of which the binding of the parts'has been effected from right to left;

Fig. 3 shows the same as applied to a tie where the parts have been adjusted and bound from left to right;

Fig. 4 shows a section through the knot of the .tie with the holder in position;

Fig. 13 is a side elevation of a modification; Fig. 141. represents a further modification 1n front elevation, and

Fig. 15 shows another side view of the same.

Fig. 16 is a front elevation of a last modification.

Similar parts are designated by like references to all the views.

Referring to the first construction, Figs.

1 to 4;, 1 is a plate of metal or other suitable material having two integral members which are at an angle to each otherand which are designated by a and b respectively. The upper portion of this plate is grooved or cut out at 2 so as to allow the cut out part to be brought up and pressed against the collar stud. The member 6 has four pins .3, 4r, 5'

and 6 rigidly attached thereto, at right angles, and of these pins those designated by 3 and 4 lie symmetrically on one side of a longitudinal center line while the other pins 5 and 6 are disposed on the opposite side of the said center line. All the pins are situated below the point of attachment 2. The pins 3 and i are also symmetrically arranged in relation to the pins 5 and 6,

each pair of pins being mounted on lines fI/fl/ running obliquely to the line 00-02.

The manner of employment of the device described is as follows. Subsequent to the binding and tying of the knot and its adjustment against the collar, thetie thus adiusted-is slightly lifted from the shirt front "whereby the thumb and index finger of the users left hand are made to press on the, tie below the knot so that the slip 9 is prevented from being displaced and the tie consequently loosened. The holder is thereupon slid underneath the tie and made to engage the collar stud by means of thegrooved part 2. The tie and holder are then pressed against each other whereby the pins are caused to penetrate the tie. In the Figs. 2,

3 and i the binding part or slip 9, which in the binding process has been also folded, represents one end of the self-adjusting tie,

while 10 designates'the first of a double'loop within which the said slip, when not sethereof.

5' mounted on the'opposite side.

cured, is adapted easily to slide, that is the tie slides downward. 11 is the second and outer portion of the double loop from which the other end of the tie freely suspends, and 12 is the cover part of the loop. In a tie of this kind and adjusted from right to left, the pins 5 and 6, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, owing to the number of the pins andthe d st position thereof penetrate the slip?) the said pins, as is clear from Fig. l, also penetrating.

at least'the inner portion 11 of the double loop so that these parts-are secured together without, however, projecting through the cover part 12. A displacement of the slip 9 in the loop is therefore prevented. The pins 3 and 4: assist herebyin-safeguardinginore amply the position of the knot and the shapeof the loop. Ina tie bound or adjusted from left to right, Fig. 3, it is the pins 3 and 4 which connect the slip with the loop, and it is thus possible to apply this particular construction of the holder for both ways of adjustment or binding. Since the holder safeguards the form and position of the selfadjusting tie, the employment of a clamp mostly used in order to secure the slip or both ends of the tieto the shirt front, with out, however preventing a loosening of the knot of the tie, is obviated.

According to the modification illustrated in Fig.5 the plate 1 is provided with a hole 7 through which the collar stud is adapted to be inserted if this mode of attachment,

owing to the shape of the collar, is'more convenient. Provision is hereby made, apart from the pins 3 and 5, of athird pin 13 which is mounted near the bottom and in the middle of the plate. This modified con struction is likewise adapted for each mode of binding the tie. V

In the modification, Fig. 6, the pins 5 and 13 only are provided, it being understood that the pin 5 could also be replaced by the According to. a furthermodification, Fig. 10, provision .is made of the pin 3' only which,however,-could be replaced by. the pin In another modification, Fig. 11, the plate is fitted with a single pin 14 mounted near the bottom of said plate-and on oneside of its center line. Instead of being arranged on the left side i as shown, it-could of'course alsobe fixed on around the neck, comprising in combination the opposite side, or, as illustrated in the modification, Fig. 12, two pins 14: and 15 could be provided these pins being near the bottom of the plate and symmetrically disposed in relation to each other and the center line.

In the further modification, Fig. 13, the

pins 3 and 1- in this case being undulated in order to afford a better grip of the material.

In another modified construction, Figs. 14: and 15, there are two pins 13 and 16, one arranged above the other and both in the center line. i

The last modification'showsthe plate 1 substituted by a'wire frame 17whichat the upper end is curved inwardly so as to form the means for attachment to the collarstu d. Pins 3, 5, and 13 are fiXed'to this wire frame in any convenient manner. In all thesefdifferentformsoffconstruction at least one pin is so mounted and arranged that it is adapted to penetrate the 'bindingpart or slip and the loop ofthe self-adjusting tie, thereby pinning these parts together.
